This is true. It's also illegal. But hey, what they don't know don't hurt.

Dear Mr B. Ape
Thank you for your recent message about the methods of business presented on the .org. I was just mentioning this as a possible way to conduct your bidding. In noway does this represent the views of myself, the management, or the company (Free E-bay Reserve LTD) as a whole. We do not practice this and we do in no way condone illegal activites of any kind.
Thank you for your time and we value your oppinion.
